I wasn't the only one wondering why the President's keynote address during the HRC Dinner wasn't released to the media prior to the speech (embargoed). This is unusual because most major addresses are sent out before so journalists can have accurate quotes in their articles, which are usually written during the delivery. The White House will sometimes re-issue the transcript (as delivered) as well.

None of that happened yesterday, and Steve Clemons of The Washington Note decided to ask the WH what the blazes was going on.
